mc Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Just started doing it today, is there a valve could be stuck or more likely an electronics problem with the dials or control box behind? Brrrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafsZed Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 That happened to my MR2 turned out to be the radiator, it was leaking, check your radiator is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Theres not an airlock in the cooling system is there? theres a bleed valve on a hose under the brake fluid cover on drivers side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks for the replies, will check levels and for leaks after work. It started blowing cold when i was sat idling getting the car washed, but when I got moving again it did heat up... so could have been an airlock like Zeus said? I did about 50 miles on the motorway afterwards and Coolant was at normal temperature (needle just below horizontal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Good luck with that mc. Couldn't have happened at a worst time of year for it. Bl**dy freezing outside at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember noticing anything abnormal, but didn't check specifically. will do if it happens again. Good luck with that mc. Couldn't have happened at a worst time of year for it. Bl**dy freezing outside at the moment. Yeah I thought it was time for the deerstalker and driving gloves! Thankfully it hasn't happened again since, but I will have to check it over in daylight Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
